Threats to Karma with this build

Squishy, You can use your E whenever she slows you or your ADC and she can't do much against you

4

Sona

Sona is SO SQUISHY, your Q's range is higher than hers and whenever she trys to harass you or your adc, you can use W thanks to your high abilities range.

5

Blitzcrank

Ward bushes, stay behind a minion, and you're safe.

6

Braum

His Q can slow you badly, so going so aggro or staying to close might get you killed. His wall can protect his adc from your Q, so try hitting him your Q until he uses the wall then attack his adc with [R+Q].

6

Alistar

Alistar will be kinda a challenge for you, try playing safe early game and keep some range from him, use your Q on him. His Q and E can interrupt your W so if you wanted to root him make sure you use W when his Q and W are on CD.111

7

Brand might be stronger than you early game and dont try to trade with him he can deal massive damage so play safe!

Introduction

Hi, I am Ahmed, I main Karma, she's my favorite supports! People think Karma is useless or weak like the other ap squishy supports ( Nidalee, Kayle etc..). For me, Karma is the best AP support, it can Slow, Root, Shield and give you movement speed, what else do you need?!

This guide will tell you how to become a good Karma support and i will be updating this guide almost weekly and add new stuff so that you can get more ideas about Karma. Enjoy!

Karma begins with one rank in Mantra and can increase it at levels 6, 11, and 16. Ranks in Mantra improve the additional effects of empowered abilities.

Masteries

These are the Masteries I use for Karma, it provides you both supporting masteries and AP masteries.

Unique Skills

There are some important things you must know to become a good Karma player, this will help you even if you are not playing as a support.Karma's empowered Q [R+Q] is very strong against squishy champions, this will be very useful if you land it on the ADC, it will deal probably like 30% of his HP early game and after a short delay it will deal slightly additional damage at the place you landed your empowered Q so this will be very helpful.Karma's Empowered W [R+W] can be very useful when you're about to die or when you are having low HP. Whenever you use it on an enemy champion, you will be healed for 20% (+1% per 100 AP) and you will get another 20% (+1% per 100 AP) if your W was not interrupted.Karma's Empowered E [R+E] This will be super useful for ganks, engages, escaping, after taking down a turret and after finishing from baron or dragon and wanna escape for safety, the most significant thing in this ability is that it provides you and your teammates a shield and movement speed that will help you for the previous purposes. This will keep your team in safe.

Combos

Karma does not have many combos but here is her best combo

NOTE
You can have W before E it doesn't matter, using E with W will just make sure that your W does not get interrupted until the enemy uses his flash or any of his escaping abilities, and this way he will be more vulnerable so that you or your team will be able to kill him easily depending on the situation.

Escape Plan
This combo will help you escape, survive and probably get a kill if the enemy is so greedy and underestimated you.

Items

I will explain the uses of some items and why you do you need them.Frost Queen's Claim
Total Price: 2200
Recipe Price: 550

50 Ability Power, 10% Cooldown Reduction, 2 Gold Generation, 100% Base Mana Regeneration. UNIQUE Passive: Tribute: Spells and basic attacks against champions or buildings deal 15 additional damage and grant 15 Gold. This can occur up to three times every 30 seconds. Killing minions does not disable the passive. UNIQUE Active: Icy ghosts: Summons 2 icy ghosts for 6 seconds that seek out nearby enemy champions. Ghosts reveal enemies on contact and reduce their Movement Speed by 40% for 2-5 seconds (based on distance travelled, 90 second cooldown).Gold Income: You may only be in possession of 1 Gold Income item.

WHY DO YOU NEED ITFrost Queen's Claim is very important because you slow the enemy who are chasing you teammate or chase the enemies and hunt them down. You can also use it to initiate a fight. It willbe super useful when one or two of the enemies are out of position or solo pushing this way you can slow them and start a fight.

UNIQUE Passive: Dealing magic damage to an enemy champion below 35% health inflicts Grievous Wounds on them for 8 seconds. (Grievous Wounds reduces all healing received and regeneration rates by 40%)WHY DO YOU NEED ITMorellonomicon is very very useful because it gives you massive damage, High cooldown and epic mana regeneration. This is one the most useful Ap items in the game, Grievous Wounds is like mini-ignite and help you kinda to secure your kills so buy it as soon as possible.

Zhonya's Hourglass is good in teamfights, if you go focused or ur low, you can use zhonya to stay few seconds more alive or even survive, not only that, you can use it when the enemies are focusing you to become invulnerable for few seconds and wait for your teammates and after that time your cd will be almost 3 seconds less so you'll probably be able to use your spells.

*NOTE*FINAL BUILD
The final build I provided you with, will give you High AP, 40% CDR and Magic pen.
if you're not a fan of 'Zeke',
you can replace it with 'Locket of the Iron Solari'.

'Zeke' can be a core item depending on your ADC. Some champions rely on crits more than others, such as, Vayne, Jhin, etc.. So buying this item will give your ADC a significant advantage and damage. Keep it your 3rd or 4th item.
